Alexander Isak has been told to train alone rather than alongside his Newcastle team-mates with the Swede also missing a family day put on by the club for the players' loved ones.

The sought-after striker's future has been up in the air ever since he failed to join the rest of the Magpies squad on their pre-season tour of Asia amid transfer interest from Liverpool.

The Premier League champions have since bid for Isak, 25, though Newcastle rejected said offer last week.

Isak has recently been training alone in Spain - using the facilities of his former club, Real Sociedad - in a move which Sky Sports claim was 'against the wishes of Newcastle'.

Isak was back at the club's training ground on Wednesday, having been instructed to report for training after a planned gathering for the Newcastle players and their families has concluded in the afternoon.

That means Isak is also set to miss the event, which will include a barbecue for the players and their nearest and dearest.

"You have to earn the right to train with us," he told told the Daily Mail.

"We are Newcastle United.

We will make sure that any player does that to earn the right to train with the group.

No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal."
